Psalms of Hallel are prayers of celebration, appreciation and awe. They give thanks for the wonders of creation, and acknowledge the beauty and the gifts of life. Rabbi Yael Levy, founder of Philadelphia's A Way In Jewish Mindfulness Center, presents a moving mindfulness translation of the six psalms, which are prayed and sung during Chanukah to call forth the light in ourselves and in each other.
